So here's the situation: a buddy of mine made me a custom red "iPod" demo player for my site. (He also built my site by the way.) I need to test the loading speed of the "narration demo." If you guys can help, go to the link below to the draft version of the player. When it comes up, immediately click on narration demo on the "iPod" screen and let me know if it plays right away or if nothing happens for about 10 seconds.

For me, I have to wait 10-15 secs, for him it's immediate. We are both on direct T1 connections using Firefox, so I wanted to see what it was like for other people. Thanks for your help!

Also, this is still in rough draft mode, so there may be other playing issues. This is just to test the load times.

instant playback when I clicked it twice: once to get rid of the "Activate this control" message and the other to play the demo. Smile

Thanks everyone for your time (and clicks). Weird, I'm the only one that gets a 15 sec. delay. Oh well, not like I'm going to need to listen to it.

Thanks again!

Donavan,
Big time server problems in the Carolinas since over the weekend. It may be just you and me.

Just to be different - it didn't start playing immediately upon my clicking it. Silence for a few seconds and then started playing. When I tried it again, it started immediately. Firefox 1.0.7

Took about 2 seconds to play. Not bad considering how far away I am Wink

Donovan,

Like Maiku, it took a couple of seconds to start for me, but nothing close to 10.

Thanks again to the rest of you who checked it out. I truly appreciate it.

2 seconds I don't mind...it was the 10 seconds that had me worried. So you guys like the player, huh? I think it's pretty cool myself! cool

You can do some pretty cool things with Swishmax. I also like IncrediFlash Xtreme.

Yeah, I like the player. It's groovy.
